The globular amphora type Antonova 9 is well-known in the Western and Northern Black Sea Early Byzantine archaeological contexts (mostly in the second half of the 6th and early 7th century). Some amphora findings in whitish fabric, imitating the canonical form LRA1 in Dobroudja (Axiopolis, hinterland of Tomis) and Eastern Mediterranean (Paphos) display identical clay texture with Antonova 9 type, thus allowing the identification of a production center specialized in the manufacture of these two containers.
